Unfortunately you need a full cage to use them at CAMS events. Also a porrly setup car will turn a set of slicks to loops of useless rubber quicker than you can say "bank loan" (a necessity for the cost)

Jack, I can see why you are disappointed with that zero potential barge of yours. I heard it run some big numbers. Did you take it to Perth????

All you guys that said R33 look ugly and are shit and so on should be ashamed of yourselves. How can you call yourself a skyline enthusiast when you dont like one of them. I like all skylines, even the dirtiest DR30 to the the latest V35.

I have owned both a R32 and R33 and they have there pros and cons, but Id safely say they iron each other out. R33 are common in comparison to say a Chaser, but I doubt they be more than 3000 R33s in Australia. People get them because for the money, there a bloody good value car which is fairly reliable and go fairly decently.

Nowadays, I see way more R32s going around, banged up cheapie GTSts and R32 GTRs are everywhere (especially where I live in the North suburbs) so those who own R32s and think there driving something exclusive, wake up.

Interesting opinions. All in all I think a car is what the owner makes it..

Honestly a lot of people don't know what they are missing until they drive it, but thats probably good..means they are satisfied with what they have...In a way I hope I never drive a lamborghini...I'll be screwed

GTS33SOM: 25k wont buy you a 33 GTR.

Its evident from your avatar picture of your car that pulling girls and looking cool is far more important to you than how your car drives. Thats good for you.

Saying a GTR is for people who cant drive is true.. people who arent very good drivers can jump behind the wheel of one and smoke your ass. That to me sounds like a pretty good car to buy. Imagine what a skilled driver can do with one?

Umm apearences can be decieving. My car has alot more engine mods (build) than you may think.

What makes my car looks like its made for picking up chicks? The wheels? well they were on the car and are for sale.

Also this is my 2nd R33. The first one 100_00091.jpg

never had females in mind.

If you cant find a R33 GTR for less than 30 grand you cant be looking to hard.

Anyone can buy a car and mod the shit out of it.

I'm sure I could build a hyundai excel up to be faster than your car. Is that a cool thing to do? no.

The main reason is resale value.

Lets be realistic for a second.. Sinking 10k of mods into a GTSt that you pay 25k for.. how much will you be able to sell this car after owning it for a couple of years? 17-18k? Maybe 20k if your really lucky?

Or with the 35k you could have bought an r33 GTR.. how much could you sell that same car after the same period of time? Hmmm.. probably 35k, but listing it at 30 would get rid of it pretty damn quickly.

Sure, the modified GTS-t may be faster or do cool burnouts, but I know which car would be more balanced and the more enjoyable steer.

How many GTR's have you driven anyway?

Dunno about the "more balance and enjoyable" bits, gtr are fast-fast cars but as a fun car a gts is more of a fun car, surely you can go harder and quicker in a gtr, but a boosted gts

is a hard car to beat for fun, just in case everyone ask have i driven or own a gtr, some of these are current and some are past cars 2xr32gtr one r33 gtr one r33gtst and rexes-audis-bmw-ferraris-lotus, of all the car I've driven , no awd has the same connection to the driver like a rwd, an AWD car can only dream of doing so.

I drivin a 32 GTR and I have been in a couple 33GTRs.

I never expected any GTRs owners to agree with me, I mean why would they? They bought a GTR for there own reasons just like I bought a GTST.

Who spends money on car and cares about the resale??

Basically everyones idea of 'fun' is different....sideways...fast and neat...its up to you..Be honest guys..I'm sure most of you think your own car is the best or has the potential to be the best and its good to see a hungry dedication to your car.. Discusssions like this will never be won by one car...each to their own and will always be..until you try something else and your thoughts change then again it starts...'my old car was good, but this one...'

etc etc...you know I'm right...I'll admit I have been guilty of it

I'm confused, are people really trying to argue thier GTSt is better than a GTR?

which part? the RB25 vs RB26? The traction and handling of a GTR vs GTS?

Only advantage i can think of for GTS is the weight.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
